Obama goes around Congress to forge "legally binding" climate regs with the UN

In preparation for this agreement, to be signed at a United Nations summit meeting in 2015 in Paris, the negotiators are meeting with diplomats from other countries to broker a deal to commit some of the world’s largest economies to enact laws to reduce their carbon pollution. But under the Constitution, a president may enter into a legally binding treaty only if it is approved by a two-thirds majority of the Senate
To sidestep that requirement, President Obama’s climate negotiators are devising what they call a “politically binding” deal that would “name and shame” countries into cutting their emissions. The deal is likely to face strong objections from Republicans on Capitol Hill and from poor countries around the world, but negotiators say it may be the only realistic path.
“If you want a deal that includes all the major emitters, including the U.S., you cannot realistically pursue a legally binding treaty at this time,” said Paul Bledsoe, a top climate change official in the Clinton administration who works closely with the Obama White House on international climate change policy.

You forgot the most important part.

American negotiators are instead homing in on a hybrid agreement — a proposal to blend legally binding conditions from an existing 1992 treaty with new voluntary pledges. The mix would create a deal that would update the treaty, and thus, negotiators say, not require a new vote of ratification.

seriously, i have had just about enough of that mother fricker's shite. besides the fact that i disagree with everything he tries to do, it's the precedents for executive power that are doing the most damage.
i won't hold my breath for the liberal blowhards to acknowledge any of it though

This is one more reason I despise Obama.
He loves the United Nations; he hates America.

In other words, circumventing the law.

Damn...I heard that Chicago was hardcore!
The good people own this land. They built this Nation. After the Progressive fling...we'll fix this stuff when Obama goes away. Not that it won't hurt.

How does anyone take the NYT seriously?
"Established"? You mean, we've established it is not based on the scientific method? Wtf
